Our Team

My experience working with Jacque and her team was amazing! The service provided was exceptional. Throughout the entire process, Jacque and her team will guide you with their professionalism, knowledge, and compassion. This team will go above and beyond to ensure you have confidence and trust that you are in great hands :)

I am a Board member for an organization that discovered one of our employees had embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from our company. We did not know what to do or where to turn. From the moment we called Jacque at ARA Fraud & Forensic Services we knew we had turned to the right agency. From the very first moment we hired her, she went above and beyond to make sure that we had a rock-solid case to take to court. She worked tirelessly to make sure that there was no stone unturned as we reviewed records and gathered documentation to build our case. She gave us pep talks when we got frustrated and discouraged and she was always encouraging throughout the process. Our case has been finalized, but she has told us that she will continue to follow our case to make sure that it is prosecuted correctly and is even going to give our Board free fraud training so that the chances of this happening again are minimal. I would highly recommend Jacque and ARA Fraud & Forensic Services to anyone who needs them.

Jacque James did an exceptional job conducting a forensic audit of a non for profit embezzlement of over $200,000. She conducted the audit in a professional and thorough manner. We contacted different people that perform forensic audits before choosing Jacque James. The information Jacque gave us over a phone interview was very knowledgeable and reassuring. Throughout the audit Jacque was understanding and compassionate regarding the dynamics involved with this particular investigation. She was detail oriented and was able to analyze a significant amount of money. She has a vast knowledge in financial crimes and has worked in law enforcement. Jacque did a forensic audit on our payroll, bank accounts, credit cards and bills. She completed the forensic audit in a timely manner, well before our expectations, with a quality end report. Jacque was always up front with us when discussing the investigation and the cost associated with the services she provided. She did not take advantage of the amount we budgeted for her services. She kept us informed where we were financially, and any findings throughout this process. She completed the audit under budget and we are extremely pleased with her end product. Jacque provided us with written recommendations in regards to internal controls. We highly recommend Jacque James as a forensic auditor!

I engaged Jacque to investigate a family trust matter. The trustee had engaged in numerous cash transactions. Jacque’s excellent forensic accounting skills were critical in our effort in getting the trustee to cease this practice. We could not have done it without her.

Have been using Jacque and her services for over 8 years now. She is an efficient and resourceful business person. We Use her for all our background checks and truly respect her insight and experience. Her hard work has save my business tons of money and time when trying to acquire Human Resources.

Where do I even begin... Jacque truly has been the back bone of my family for the past 10 months as we were going through one of the hardest times of our life. I trust Jacque more than most people in my life. She is truly the best of the best and really cares for her clients. Jacque is thorough, always available, and dives deep into any investigation she is handed. She made one of the most horrible experiences of our life actually bearable, knowing we finally had someone on our side fighting for us. If it wasn’t for Jacque we would not have known where to start in this process, she has honestly gotten us to where we need to be with all the information found and non stop professional work ethic.

I can't give Jacque enough stars. Her experience, knowledge, and work ethic is the best. She truly does care for her clients and their cases. Highly recommend using Jacque and ARA.

Jacque James, President and Founder of ARA Fraud & Forensic Services, is one of the most driven, detailed oriented, and moral person I know.

They continuously expand their resources, knowledge base, and skills to offer cutting edge technology paired with seasoned experience. I highly recommend ARA Fraud & Forensic Services and trust them explicitly.

Jacque James is a true professional. She truly wants to solve problems for her clients. She is extremely thorough. During my divorce proceedings, she found and accounted for all of the assets that had been moved and hidden. She treated me with respect and kindness. She provided all of the information I needed for the court. She coordinated with my attorney and helped me get my share of the assets. She truly cares about her clients and does her very best for them. I highly recommend her financial services.

I discovered several years ago, after attending a couple of Jacque James' "Loss Prevention" presentations, that she is the real deal.We don't gamble on new hires; all are first submitted to ARA for a complete background report. As a result, we have dodged some bullets! Jacque is very responsive, always thorough and timely. She knows her business and helps me protect mine.
